Servicing Assets

NOTE 10 - SERVICING ASSETS

 

At December 31, 2020, the servicing asset amounted to $47.3 million ($50.8 million — December 31, 2019) related to mortgage servicing rights.

 

On December 31, 2019, Oriental completed the Scotiabank PR & USVI Acquisition, increasing its servicing assets by $40.5 million.

 

The impact of Covid-19 has been considered in the fair value for year ended December 31, 2020.

The following table presents the changes in servicing rights measured using the fair value method for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018:

The following table presents key economic assumption ranges used in measuring the mortgage-related servicing asset fair value for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018:

 

Year Ended December 31,

 

2020

 

2019

 

2018

Constant prepayment rate

5.02% - 35.22%

 

4.47% - 18.81%

 

4.3% - 9.02%

Discount rate

10.00% - 15.50%

 

10.00% - 15.00%

 

10.00% - 12.00%

The sensitivity of the current fair value of servicing assets to immediate 10 percent and 20 percent adverse changes in the above key assumptions were as follows:

 

December 31, 2020

 

(In thousands)

Mortgage-related servicing asset

 

 

Carrying value of mortgage servicing asset

$

47,295

Constant prepayment rate

 

 

Decrease in fair value due to 10% adverse change

$

(1,111)

Decrease in fair value due to 20% adverse change

$

(2,177)

Discount rate

 

 

Decrease in fair value due to 10% adverse change

$

(1,891)

Decrease in fair value due to 20% adverse change

$

(3,653)

These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. As the figures indicate, changes in fair value based on a 10% variation in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in this table, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the retained interest is calculated without changing any other assumption.

 

Changes in one factor may result in changes in another (for example, increases in market interest rates may result in lower prepayments), which may magnify or offset the sensitivities. Mortgage banking activities, a component of total banking and financial service revenue in the consolidated statements of operations, include the changes from period to period in the fair value of the mortgage loan servicing rights, which may result from changes in the valuation model inputs or assumptions (principally reflecting changes in discount rates and prepayment speed assumptions) and other changes, including changes due to collection/realization of expected cash flows.

 

Servicing fee income is based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal balance and is recorded as income when earned. Servicing fees on mortgage loans for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 totaled $17.2 million, $4.2 million and $4.1 million, respectively.
